We got a house!!!!!!!!!!!!

We like this one better and it will let us do my studio there!!

*Update Update - house looks like a no go. We went out looking for several hours, Let's try it again.

*Update - well the probability of us getting this home just went down. We'll know a little better what is going on in the coming days.

Hey friends! LOOK! I'm doing another post! I'm just not very good at this blog stuff...but oh well. Maybe I'll get better someday, maybe not. I have other things that are biting at my heels a lot right now. Sooo...here's our news...We're moving to the Valley, 99% sure! YAY! Colt's going to work for NAU from our home computer. :) BLESSINGS, Blessings! And because of that, we were able to put an offer on a house! :) Now...We LOVE this house. We walked in and felt so good inside it. Even though there are some things that I'm still not crazy about...like the horendously long staircase...we'll adjust and buy baby gates and stuff. So this house comes with a pool (saltwater...supposed to be nicer on the skin and eyes) it's front and backyard are landscaped with watering systems, there's already a security system in place - yeah, don't try and break in, we'll get ya! :), a drinking filtration system is installed...it's got lots of upgrades, nice tile, nice carpet, nice clean home. We're stoked. Everything is looking good so far, as far as buying it goes...we just keep praying that things will continue to go well. Here's some pictures that we took from when we went and looked at it. It has 5 bedrooms, so I'm really hoping that people will come stay with us when they come to the valley!

Graduating is looking good. I'm planning on getting bad grades because I really don't care about school right now. I'm having a baby in a week, we're buying a house, we're moving out of this tiny apartment...YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! There are so many more things going on than just school. But Colt and I are graduating May 8th at 2pm here in Flag. Maybe the house will be ours by then. Anyone up to helping us move? Bring your trucks! We can all take a load back to the valley! haha...So everyone, there's our update...having a baby, buying a house, graduating, moving. That's the plan. Love you all!

I decided to post something on our blog (This is Colt). So we went up to Salt Lake to visit the college and really see if we wanted to go up there and ... well ... we were not impressed. The way the program was structured seemed great but I didn't like the teacher. There are only two graphic design teachers and one was on sabbatical. So, on to something else. At this point we are planning on Queen Creek down in the Phoenix Valley. Cheap housing, good jobs, and close to family.

We have one semester left till we graduate and we are very excited, even though this will be a tough full one for me we are very excited. Now I just need to find a Job (anyone in the phoenix valley need a Graphic designer with 2.5 years experience in c# and various other programing lanquages, and a knowledge of silverlight, flash, and lots of other stuff, or know a friend, or a friend of a friend? :).

It's a Girl!

2008-10-29T13:19:00.000-07:00

So yep! We had our ultrasound today...another girl!! We are excited! ... maybe John and Kadee will have another boy so that our families can remain opposite. The ultrasound tech said that everything looks great. She looks just perfect. Sarah was excited to finally see something that looked like a baby after I've been telling her about the baby in my tummy. Our new baby girl is due 3/24/09!

So lately Sarah has been taking off her pajamas at night. The ones pictured here are the zip-up w/footies kind. I tried putting other pajamas on her too...like long-sleeved shirts with sweat pants. It doesn't work. She just prefers being comfortable in her diaper. She also likes to run around in just her diaper. In the mornings when I try to get her dressed, she'll take off running before I can. ...We didn't know why this was happening until Colt made a great observation...he was just kidding around, but I really believe that this is what it was...

We'd had this box of diapers in our hallway for 2 days before Sarah started taking off her clothes and running around in her diaper. Sarah passes by this box every time she goes to her room. So a couple nights ago, Colt did this to the baby on the box...

...And for the past 2 nights, we haven't had ANY problems! At first when Sarah saw it, she just looked at the clothed baby...then she'd go and play and come back and look at it. ... But yeah...No naked problems since we colored clothes on this baby! This is something to really think about here.

Sarah wanted to make cookies...so we did. While she absolutely loved cracking the eggs, I think her favorite part was licking the beaters!

Buddies!

2008-10-24T14:11:00.001-07:00

The kids have little buddies that they play with around here! Here's a couple pictures of them hangin out with their buddies!

These are of Kamee and Nathan (Kamee is about a month and half younger than Nathan).

These guys also like to play together in church! Nathan's mom and I are buddies!

Sarah and Carlee watching the Sound of Music (I think). Carlee's mom and I are also buddies! :)

Fam Photos!

Sandee took our family pictures on Saturday. She got some good ones! We're very excited to have family pictures! It's been a long time! Thanks Sis for taking the time and taking our pictures! We love them! (These were all taken at the Mesa AZ temple grounds).

Yes...the flame is brighter now than it's ever been!

Sarah loved to play in the water!

...We are a happy family! :)

Sisterly Love!

2008-10-15T21:34:00.000-07:00

This picture post is dedicated to my awesome sister-in-law Rachel who said "Hey, we need more pictures" and also to her husband Andrew, (my awesome brother) who said, "Hey, you should put more pictures on your blog." So, it took me about 30 minutes...and here they are!
They're all of the two girls chillin together. They have lots of fun together. I'll get separate pictures of them later. I want to go to bed right now. :)

We went for a Sunday walk. I thought the girls looked so cute in their beenies.

"Hey! Let me see that blanket!""Oh no! Mom caught me!...uhh..here Sarah, take this Teddy bear."

"See mommy, I'm nice."

Sisterly Love

More sisterly love

Kamee rolled under the crib and Sarah followed...with her blanket of course.

Sarah: "Kamee call Nana!"
I'm so glad I got a picture of it!

Sarah and Kamee love to play with markers. Sarah loves to color...Kamee loves to eat.

If you look really closely at the crib, you can see Kamee's face looking towards Sarah. The girls were supposed to be taking a nap one day. I heard lots of laughing coming from their room. I walked in and saw this...How CUTE! Kamee had positioned herself so she could see Sarah and they were just laughing at each other. Oh they joys! :)

Sunday before church...this is the little girl hair care drawer.

"I've almost got it...almost...."
I just took this today. The girls are sitting in the double stroller. Kamee was trying desperately to get Sarah's hat. And before I put the hat on, Kamee was trying desperately to get Sarah's hair!

Kamee Time!

2008-09-23T12:14:00.000-07:00

Go Kamee GO!!!! Kamee's rolling around like mad now! ... I'll walk out of the room while she's playing on the floor...I come back a minute later and she's gone FAR! I think this is a cool picture of her attacking the wipes. She's SO strong! HOLY COW! She's a super good baby...Very sweet...I'll add another cute picture of Kams... Ok...I added it...It's the first picture you see. HAPPY HAPPY!

Sarah's Donut

2008-09-23T11:29:00.000-07:00

The other day I had a craving for donuts! So I went to the store and got some. Here are some pictures of Sarah eating her donut. I love this last picture. She just has the funniest expression -- with her mouth and hands...HAHA! Notice that she only ate the chocolate part and left everything else. The first picture you see is actually the last picture I took. You can see on the donut that she even skipped biting the top and just licked off the chocolate and sprinkles! CUTE!
Later in the day, at lunch time, I said "Sarah, do you want some lunch?...Do you want a sandwich?" She replied, "No... Donut!"

The first...well...second post. I deleted the whole first post..oops

HOW FUN! We have a cute blog! I saw other people who had cute blogs, and well...I HAD to have one! I had no real desire to have a blog until I found out I could do a scrapbook blog! ... It was SO easy (once I figured out how to do it...HA!). Anyway...Fun blogging time! I'm so happy that I have a cute background (although some wouldn't call it cute...I DO!). So I guess I should write about my family instead of my cute scrapbook blog!

Well! We have FUN news! Baby number 3 is ON THE WAY! Yesterday, Colt Sarah, Kamee and I cruised down to Phoenix to buy a new car...one that would fit all of us! Some people may call us crazy for having so many kids so close together...well...maybe we are. But we sure are excited for what awaits us! I think being a full-time mom is sometimes that hardest job on the planet. But it's usually the easiest...because it's SO rewarding!!! Our two beautiful girls sure keep Colt and I busy busy busy. We've got other things keeping us busy too!...

For those of you who don't know...We live in Flagstaff and attend NAU. Colt's a Graphic Design major, I'm a Psychology major. Both of us are hoping to graduate this spring! (Colt's graduation spot is more secured than mine, however)...I'm taking 12 credits this semester, 3 credits this winter and 9-10 credits next semester (we'll have our baby in March). That's why we're not too sure about me graduating. We'll just see how stressed I feel by Winter's end. :) I may have to just finish up in the summer! But Hallelujah! I'll finish my degree while having 3 small babies...I think that'll be quite an accomplishment. Colt's super busy too...taking 12 credits, working 30 hours/week as a computer programmer for NAU's distance learning. And he stays quite busy working with the 12-13 year old boys in our ward...A campout every month. Crazy...

Sarah will be 2 in December. And Kamee is 5 1/2 months old. Our next baby is due in March, making Kamee and the next one 12 months apart!!! Like I said...Some people may think we're crazy...maybe we are...But Oh what fun we have!!!

Sarah's so fun! She really is a pretty little girl..so cute. We get a kick out of her. The other day, Kamee smelled like she left me a little present in her diaper. I said, "Kamee, are you poopy?" Sarah said "No." So I said, "Sarah, are you poopy?" Sarah said, "No, Wasa!" (Wasa means princess.) (She has a princess Cinderella doll that's about her height who she loves to dance with...) So I said, "Sarah, is your princess poopy?" She said, "yeah!" So we put a diaper on the princess and that was happy! More stories to come...
